Clean sheets

2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 46.5 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.09 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 19 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (99/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.
